Crystal's POV

It's been a week, and Sabrina and I have still been getting bullied. Except Sabrina is getting it worse then me. Gabrielle calls me means stuff, but that's all. It's not a good feeling, but it could be worse.

When Sabrina and I are walking home, she gets beat up really hard by Jacob's group. Mark tells them to leave me alone, which is sweet. I don't really know what to do when Sabrina is getting attacked. I just stand there and watch, then help her home.

I remember the day I came to school, Sabrina said she was going to get them back. Did she forget?

Sabrina's POV

For the last week, I've been planning how to get back at them. I refuse to hurt anyone with mean words that they call me or physically. Okay, maybe not the mean words part. I know exactly what to do. I hope it works.

When I get to school everyday, Crystal is usually there getting physically pushed by Gabrielle, India, and Linda, while Jacob's gang stands by them. Then I take Crystal, and go.
I'll do my plan then. I hope it works.

(Skip until morning)

I wake up and put my outfit on to match what my plan is about (in my media) and put my hair in a side pony tail. No makeup. No heat in my hair. Just the natural me.

I drink a protein shake, brush my teeth, pack my bag, and head out the door.
I go inside to see Crystal getting pushed around. That's when I make my move. I go up to Crystal and grab her. Then Gabrielle sees what my shirt says.

"You know, that shirt really matches who you are!" She says. Everybody passing by laughs. I don't care. She thinks she so funny, when really her comments and comebacks sound like a fourth grader came up with them. Maybe a fourth grader could even come up with better ones.

"Gabrielle, stop. Stop hurting my friend. She did nothing to you! Ever since you became popular, you have become the snobbiest, rudest person I have ever met. Yes, this shirt does represent me. This shirt is just telling everyone I'm confident in who I am. I'm proud of me that I can wear this shirt when every single person I'm looking at bullies me. I don't know about everyone else here, but I am taking a step in. No one helped me when I was bullied in grade 6, so I am not letting that happen to Crystal. I am done with letting people push me around. I'm done with bullying. Who is done with bullying? Or in other words, who is done with Gabrielle?" I say.

After about 10 seconds, Jacob comes in.

"Me," he says. Gabrielle gasps.

"Jacob, I'm not allowing you to. We're dating! You can't do that!" She yells at him.

"To bad. I'm breaking up with you" he says with a shrug.
"I'm done with it too," Mark says. I smile.
"Me too," Carson says.
"Me three," Linda adds.

"Linda, get back over here. I am older so I suggest you listen to me," India says sternly.

"No," she simply says and walks over to me. The group of people soon becomes bigger and bigger, and it ends up feeling like the entire school is tidally against India and Gabi.
